[ale] How to turn /dev/midi on?

[Jim Popovitch]

Custom kernel or not?

Either way what does lsmod show?

Here's my ALSA modules:

snd_intel8x0           28840  1
snd_ac97_codec         67920  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm_oss            47144  0
snd_mixer_oss          17536  2 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                82696  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              20996  1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc          7688  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
snd_mpu401_uart         6272  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_rawmidi            19876  1 snd_mpu401_uart
